Surgical masks, usually made of three-layer non-woven fabric or other materials, have good filtering effect and breathability and can effectively block the transmission of pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. Surgical masks are suitable for medical, surgical, and other occasions, and can also be used for daily protection.
In recent years, in the context of COVID-19, the global surgical mask market has grown steadily, mainly driven by the following factors:
The public's demand for protective equipment is constantly increasing. In the context of COVID-19, the public's demand for protective masks has risen rapidly, which has promoted the growth of the surgical mask market. In addition, with the increasing awareness and importance of protective equipment in society, the public's demand for high-quality, safe, and reliable protective equipment is also constantly increasing, providing broad development space for the surgical mask market.
The impact of government policies on the surgical mask market cannot be ignored. During the epidemic, the government implemented multiple policies to promote the production and supply of protective equipment, including subsidies for the production and sales of masks and other protective equipment and prioritizing the procurement of domestically produced protective equipment. These policies not only ensure the public's demand for protective equipment but also promote the development of the surgical mask market.
Technological development provides an inexhaustible driving force for market growth. The emergence of new materials and technologies has made surgical masks more comfortable, lightweight, and have better protective effects. For example, N95 respirators and surgical masks made of new materials can better filter out harmful substances such as bacteria and viruses in the air, improving their protective effects. These technological advancements provide more choices and competitive advantages for the surgical mask market.
